A-Level Results

Outstanding A-Level Success for Truro School Sixth Form in 2024.

Truro School Sixth Form students have plenty to celebrate this A-Level results day, achieving outstanding outcomes that further build on Truro School’s position as the leading A-Level provider in Cornwall. Over 73% of all grades were A*-B, over 45% were A*/A, and over 20% were at A*. This represents higher achievement across all these grade ranges than last year and the strongest top grade outcomes for students at Truro School for a decade*.

In six subjects, spread across Further Maths, the Sciences, Humanities and the Creative Arts, all students achieved grades A*-B. Over 92% of EPQ outcomes were A*-A, 88% of our Leith’s cookery qualifications were Distinction or Merit, and two double Distinctions were achieved in Ctec PE. This range of excellence reflects Truro School’s ongoing championing of diverse A-Level and Sixth Form pathways that is at the heart of our Sixth Form Diploma program, now in its third successful year.

Proud as we are of the overall outcomes, however, it is the individual journeys and destinations that matter most. Our Diploma program actively encourages and supports students to find and pursue their individual ambitions and enables us to celebrate excellence in its many different forms equally as a result.

We are delighted that the hard work of our students has resulted in places being secured at Oxbridge, four at Medical Schools, to McGill University in Canada, for Engineering, Law, Architecture, and also for Music Conservatoires, Archaeology, Sports, Geology, Software Engineering, Illustration, and directly into varied industries, including training as a pilot or as business leaders through leading apprenticeship programs.

We are proud that once again over 90% of our students have secured or reached destinations of choice within less than a day of results being published, and our dedicated staff remain on hand over the coming days for those seeking ongoing advice and support.

Head of Truro School, Andy Johnson, expressed his immense pride in the achievements of this year’s cohort, stating: “I am incredibly proud of this year group. They are a real credit to both the school and themselves. Their ambition, dedication, and courage have led to these outstanding outcomes. These results are a testament to their abilities and the support provided by our dedicated staff, and they reflect the value and impact of a Truro School Sixth Form education. Our goal at Sixth Form is to equip and empower students for their futures, and today’s results have done just that. We wish them all the best as they embark on their exciting new journeys.”

The entire school community celebrates these exceptional achievements, confident that Truro School Sixth Formers are once again well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
